Come to Balls-15 You'll see plenty.

Can somebody tell you where you have not seen an O-size engine? Sure. Everywhere you have been.

On my screen that's about the size of a Micromax. I've seen loads of those!

Here you go;

Think the case is something like 2k and the reload 2k as well.

The good Doctor, Frank Kosdon had an O10000. One of his motors was in my hotel room at a launch a number of years back. 4" by 6' if my memory serves.

Got a old Rocketman video with a O10k on it. Oy veh...way loud!

Yup, In a fiberglass casing no less....or as the legend goes to keep the mass fraction down. It comes with a 2.3 sec burn time. I'm not sure , but it might be a true 4" motor???

This particular motor was a typical Kosdon "Truly Reloadable Motor" - just bigger - Aluminum tube, graphite nozzle, snap rings, etc. Some guy from Wisconsin was trying to sell raffle tickets @ 100 bucks a pop for it. He wanted to sell 10 tickets and the winner would get the motor plus propellant. I don't think he was able to sell enough tickets.

It WAS a big arsed motor though!

We flew one out at Black Rock back in 2000 and it was a true 4" motor,

6ft long with an aluminium casing. We had a boosted dart on the front of it and just bolted our booster recovery onto the forward closure and bonded a fin can to the bottom of it. It was sweeeeeet. There's video out there of the launch somewhere but a 40G liftoff was something to behold. Zero to Mach 2 in 2.3s ;o)
